When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I get an emailed Buddhist quote daily from http://www.pariyatti.com . Here's today's:
Daily Words of the Buddha
April 30, 2003
As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings.
Sutta Nipata I, 8
This sounds like advice you might also hear from Jesus. What wrong turning has taken Christians on such a warlike path today?
